Comments: NASCAR Picks for Daytona

The 2014 Sprint Cup season goes green this Sunday with the 56th running of the Daytona 500. While the "Great American Race" is revered by fans and drivers alike because of its history and mystique, NASCAR's most famous race is also one of the biggest headaches for fantasy owners. The same restrictor plate that keeps the high speeds in in check and created the exciting pack racing also creates the perfect atmosphere for devastating multi-car wrecks that can wipe out an entire fantasy roster in an instant. As a result, the Daytona 500 is one of the most unpredictable races of the season. While there is no perfect recipe for success, there are some strategies that can help minimize the damage that Daytona can do to your fantasy team. I always recommend staying away from big names in leagues that cap the number of times you can use each driver; and in leagues that require you to pick a different driver each week, using a sleeper option makes a ton of sense. Regardless of the type of fantasy league you play in or the strategy you use Sunday, luck will also play a large role in determining whether or not you start the 2014 fantasy racing season on a high note or in an early hole.

A lot of your drivers classes are inaccurate. They have changed a lot of drivers from A B & C classes. Not a lot of research done for this article I see.

To reiterate what Baymega stated, Yahoo! has made a ton of changes in driver categories. For example, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is now an A driver and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Brad Keselowski are both now B drivers.

The advice per driver is still sound, but the categories are off.

FYI, Brian wrote the article just fine, this was a data issue. When he writes the article, it spits out the Classes, so don't blame Brian, blame me.

Also, don't forget to root for Austin Dillon this weekend! He's a big fan of Toolbox and plays in our Rotobowl contest last year! He actually did quite well!

Baymega, who cares about the classes of the drivers! Brian wrote the article to predict his Daytona 500 finishers. Lighten up dude!
